It is possible that the opposing tooth is hitting the attachment prematurely, but it is unlikely that the tooth would chip (scraped) unless there was a pre-existing condition such as an excessively large restoration or preexisting fracture. Having said that, a premature contact against an opposing tooth is not good. Schedule an appointment as soon as possible with your Invisalign provider to remedy the situation. Good luck!
